Superb course but unfortunately I had cramps at about 1.5K

Because of leg cramps I had a hard time on this route

I thought I would not finish but my perseverance paid off.

I had a very slow race and injured myself by continuing after the swim.

I can still remember the feeling of joy and relief as I cross the finish line. SWEET

How To Get Away With A Finisher Medal

Some Of The Finisher Medals From My Collection

Luckily I Can't Remember A Race I DNF

1. Make sure the race offers a finisher medal, lol.
2. Train. There's no magic pill that'll get you to the finish line.
3. Come to the race well rested but fit.
4. As race day approaches, avoid foods and drinks that could lead to bad stomach.
5. Don't pressure yourself, think happy thoughts, enjoy the race, think positively.
6. On race day, start conservatively.
7. Maintain a pace you can actually endure/maintain.
8. Be sure to show up on race day, lols.
